ok, the last time i took off my honeycomb and silencer, my car was running real lean. my only guess on what to to do is make everything back to stock and see what happens. should i tune out the knock with an s-afc or not?


Huh. You're the first guy I've ever run across that had a problem running too lean after talking out the honeycomb and silencer. If you don't want to do that I suppose you could do some SAFC tuning. Josh and I tuned a lot of knock out of his car using the SAFC in conjunction with the MAP sensor mod shown in this link.

It basically makes it the SAFC tune according RPM and boost rather than RPM and throttle position.
